By Maulline Onyalo, 22, Kenya Someone defined a Christian this way: “The true Christian is he who gives others the desire to be one also.” One passage in the Bible reflects this definition well. In the story of the Samaritan woman in John 4, Jesus reveals to us that chance encounters are often opportunities for [...]
Follow the flow of Jesus’ teaching in Matthew, and look for ways to live it out!
A well-crafted sermon takes a single theme, and then builds real-life application around that singular truth. And Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount is no different!
On Helping Others
When snowstorms bury the grazing lands, ranchers must feed their herds by hand. As hay is tossed from wagons and trucks, the strongest animals bull their way to the front. Timid or sickly animals get little or no feed unless the rancher intervenes.
Workers in refugee camps and food pantries report a similar pattern. When they open their stores to those in need, the weak and timid may not make it to the front of the line.
I Was a Hard-core Gamer
By Lau Jue Hua, Singapore About a dozen of us are sitting on high backed wooden chairs. The seat and backrest are uncomfortable and the air is stale. The only sound I hear is the shuffling of my shoes on the concrete floor as I stare at my clammy hands. They can’t seem to stop [...]
Let’s reflect on God’s consistent love in the midst of our inconsistent faith
Nobody’s perfect. Though we may falter now and again, we still hold on to God’s promise that He will forgive us, no matter the mistakes we make.

Remembering Our Father’s Words
Jim Davidson was climbing down Mount Rainier when he fell through a snow bridge and into a crevasse (a pitch-black, ice-walled crack in a glacier). As Jim stood bloodied and bruised in that dark ice cave, he reflected on his childhood and recalled how his father had repeatedly reminded him that he could accomplish great things if he pressed through adversity. Those words helped to sustain Jim as he spent the next 5 hours climbing out of that dark ice cave to safety with very little gear and under extremely difficult circumstances.

Two Victories
King David was up against a familiar foe. Years before as a young shepherd boy, he had faced down Goliath, the top Philistine warrior, by killing him with a well-placed stone (1 Sam. 17). Now David was king of Israel, and here come the Philistines again! They heard he was king, and they decided to attack (2 Sam. 5:17).
